View of the Malibu Fire and Sealion from 5 miles offshore

On Saturday I took a long waverunner ride around Anacappa. This was the main day of the Malibu fires. I took this picture from Platform Gina about 5 miles offshore. There are usually sea lions on this buoy and in the background you can see the main plume of smoke from the fire.
